And the list goes ON  and ON. So maybe you're a fashion forward makeup gal.  You're adventurous.  So you buy the lashes, along with the glue that comes with the "lash adhesive kit."  You try to follow the directions and it's just not happening.  The lash glue is everywhere.  The adhesive won't stay.  The lashes poke you.  You can't seem to get them on right.  Seriously?  These directions are TERRIBLE!

Ever wonder why Celebrities look flawless all the time? NO, the above photo was NOT photoshopped and was NOT retouched.  Taken with a professional photographer's HD camera, this photo shows the power of a good Make-up Artist.  So the answer to the question above is simple... Makeup is Powerful. Celebrities have a Professional Make-up Artist to make their face look flawless.  Some (like Kim Kardashian, for example) have a Makeup Artist on Staff, who follows them around to ensure their face is a work of art EVERYDAY!  Of course there's also the retouching of the photos in photo shop, perfect lighting, plastic surgery, etc. But what about YOU?  (As in the rest of us "non-celebrities!")  What about US?  What if we don't have a professional following ing us around all day?  What if we have a special occasion like prom or wedding or bar mitzvah or birthday or anniversary or date night (the list goes on and on) where we want to look flawless? We're just left with perfect magazine images in our heads and lack the professional experience or tools to create the looks we envision in our minds. Don't fret.  You're not alone.  I have answers for you!  I want to show you how to "DIY" (do-it-yourself).  Keep in mind most people are not professionals, so don't expect to nail it without practice or effort - there's a reason we are called professionals.  But I believe that the average person simply lacks INSTRUCTION. Ever wonder HOW (like EXACTLY, how?) do Celebrity Makeup Artists cover up zits on Celebrities?  I'm here to give it to you.  Absolutely for FREE no strings attached.  So listen to this podcast already!

So in this 2nd episode of the Makeup Artist Beauty Podcast, I'll be talking about Foundations.  This is something that that our Artists get asked about a lot, as the art of foundation is both an art and a science!  Our goal is to educate you so that you know how to communicate what you are looking for in "makeup language" to the salesperson helping you.  The more clear picture you have of  what you want (or the problem you are trying to solve) the easier it will be for you to find a solution you are happy with! Here are some topics covered in this podcast: Describing types of foundations What coverage do you want? Sheer/full coverage What finish are you looking for? Dewy/Matte What's your skin type? (oil control vs. hydrating) Color - are you more beige, pink undertone or neutral  (more coverage = more exact shade match!) Liquid vs cream vs powder, ah! Airbrush? Foundation Bases: Water Based, Silicone based, Gel based, - why you should know your base when layer products on top of each other. Pros and Cons of 3 popular foundation types: Powders, Liquids and Creams How to Apply Foundation like a Pro Mistakes Amateurs make when applying foundation makeup to the face Why Professional Make-up Artists use brushes - and why fluffy vs. dense brush makes a difference My thoughts on sponges that come free with your makeup Stippling Method of foundation application for more coverage How to create an "Airbrush Finish" by hand without a machine Tips and Tricks for Foundations, Concealers, and Powders  Changing your sheerness of application simply by changing your brush Secret "sunburst pattern" for foundation application and how to do it Why you should "bounce" instead of "swirl" when blending out your foundation "Checkup from the neck up!" - Secrets for doing it like a Pro! Trick to make your foundation last longer Primers: What they do and why you should use them (or at least give it a shot!)

In this Episode of the Makeup Artist Beauty Podcast (first EVER episode, YAY!), I talk about my vision for this podcast.  I share my "intense passion for illuminating the beauty within... one face at a time" and why I decided to make that the mission statement of my company, Charlottesville Makeup Artist.  I also explain why I am so motivated to share "empowerment makeup" philosophy with the world! Let's help each other become the most "beautiful version" of ourselves :)   Whether you are a make up junkie, make up newbie, aspiring artist, career/professional Makeup Artist, or even a part-time freelancer, I would LOVE to get to know you!  Together, we have the power to create our own masterpiece :) Here are some things I address: WHY a Podcast on Makeup and Beauty when there's already plenty of videos on YouTube Why I created this podcast, and how I hope to use it as a FREE platform to help others Why I think the rise of HD Cameras will bring on a surge in demand for Makeup Artists (and for the average person too, NOT just celebs!) Why I want to encourage other aspiring Artists to pursue their dream, living their passion, like I did.  I am nothing special and if I can do it, you can do it too! Why inspiring others and helping people is something I am passionate about Why I believe beauty starts from WITHIN - and hope that you are empowered to become more beautiful not just on the outside but also on the INSIDE Why I am willing to share all of my entrepreneurial tips and tricks with you - and how I believe sharing my knowledge with the world will only make it a better place Why I personally LOVE podcasts and all things audio If you are living in a small town with limited access to makeup and beauty products, you are not alone! I promise to be honest and transparent with you at all times.  I will never compromise my integrity for money.  If I earn a commission off recommending products, I will always be ethical and upfront with you about it.  You have my word that I will never recommend products that I don't truly LOVE.  Your trust is valuable to be and I would never jeopardize that trust regardless of how much someone is willing to pay me. I believe in the golden rule.  I will never be ashamed of profiting from my passion.  And neither should you!  If I can help you make money (honestly and ethically of course!) I would be happy to do so.  I hope that in exchange you also support me and help me generate an income from the value I provide you. I have been working on this podcast for quite some time, it's a journey that I can't wait to take you through!  Believe me when I say, I am SO EXCITED to share this with you! Hope that helps!  Now go out there and create your own masterpiece. Yours Truly, Anne :)
